Redhawk Caldera fire in the hole

Elwood breathed a sigh of relief when Tegan, Lucca, and Fiadh finally arrived. They were late, but at least they were there. He glanced around for the conspicuously missing @Clover, a small frown creasing his forehead; hopefully, she would arrive soon. Eljay seemed ready to start, and when he began to speak to the Blackthorns that were present, he took a step back to allow his eldest son to take charge.

He listened as Tegan and Fiadh deliberated over which deer to choose as their target, and stifled a grin when Lucca gave an entirely unhelpful shrug as his input. Gradually, he began to move further from the group; while he wanted to be close by to help and observe, he didn't want to step on Eljay's toes. He took up a stance somewhere between the other adults on the ridge and the group of young wolves preparing to hunt, feeling pride welling in his chest as he watched the scene unfold.
